I'm excited to be recognized by Nordica as a key influencer in women's ski gear, and have been chosen to be one of the women involved with the Nordica Proto Project Santa Ana 88. Follow along as I put these through the paces over the next year.

​

Nordica has taken the shape that we love from the original Santa Ana and created a "mighty and nimble" fun size in the Santa Ana 88, with balsa wood core sandwiched between two sheets of metal. I guess you could say this sandwich promises to satisfy the appetite when I'm hungry for slope time.

The reveal: it was pretty cool to open a giant box to find not just skis but also a custom roller ski bag.

Dude, send me some!! Holy cow, as much as I love my Santa Ana 100s (got out on them again this weekend, it's been two years) I would dearly LOVE a narrower ski with the same shape! I really love an 88 for almost every day, including leftover powder and crud, groomers, you name it.

And congrats, because that is AWESOME!

I sincerely thought of you while I was fondling them.
Now, we will be in Utah this week.

Point your skis where you want to go.
If that doesn't work, go where they're pointed.
